Fall Welcome

This is an easy craft you and your children can do together. Here’s how I did it.

Whatcha Need

Card stock

Ribbon or string

Hole Punch

Glue

Scissors

Assorted things from your yard, dries beans or peas

Putting It All Together

Cut card stock into squares of about 4×4 inches. Mine was already cut so I could skip this step. Yea, me!!

In pencil write the letter on the card. I chose to spell out “welcome”, but you could spell out “autumn” or “hello” or anything you want.

Trace line with glue. I choose to only work one line at a time. Less messy that way.

For the “W” I used sticks broken to fit. I just laid it on top of the glue. I let the stick “decide” how they were going to lay down. That was I wasn’t fighting them to lay flat.

I used sticks, dries beans and peas, acorns, bark and pods from the Crape Myrtles in my yard.

Next punch 2 holes at the top. You can see mine in the pictures above. Then sting the ribbon or string through.

I taped the ribbon to the back so the cards would stay in place.

Hang in place

The only change I would make Is to use darker beans on the “L”. Can’t see it too well. Sorry. Oh, and I don’t suggest hanging this out on a windy day. Mine blew down. The remnants of Hurricane Lee are blowing through. Not a good day to hang this. Maybe I’ll find a place inside.
